Bollywood fans have a lot to look forward to as Ajay Devgn gears up for the release of Son of Sardaar 2, a much-anticipated sequel that promises to be bigger and more action-packed than its predecessor. The original Son of Sardaar was a hit when it released in 2012, with its mix of comedy, drama, and action resonating well with audiences. Now, after a decade, the excitement is building for the next installment, and it seems like this time around, the stakes are even higher.
A New Direction for the Sequel
Unlike the first film, which was directed by Ashwini Dheer, Son of Sardaar 2 will be helmed by Vijay Kumar Arora, with Ajay Devgn not only starring but also producing the film. The sequel is expected to pick up right where the first film left off, promising a seamless continuation of the story. However, what sets this film apart is its new approach—while it retains the comedy that made the first film a hit, Son of Sardaar 2 is set to delve deeper into action and drama, offering a more intense viewing experience.
Sanjay Dutt Joins the Cast
One of the biggest talking points of the film is the addition of Sanjay Dutt to the cast. Dutt, known for his powerful screen presence, will be playing a character with shades of his iconic Vasooli Bhai from the Golmaal series. His role in Son of Sardaar 2 is said to involve a gang war between the dons of Bihar and Punjab, adding a layer of complexity and tension to the story. Initially, this role was intended for Ravi Kishan and later considered for Vijay Raaz, but after several script changes, it has now been finalized for Sanjay Mishra.
Behind the Scenes and Shooting Updates
The film’s production has not been without its challenges. Shooting is currently underway in the UK, although there were reports that Sanjay Dutt’s UK visa was rejected, leading to rumors that he might be removed from the project. However, the filmmakers have clarified that Dutt’s scenes will be shot in India instead. The high-octane action sequences between Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt are set to be filmed in Punjab, with shooting expected to commence in October.
A Challenging Year for Ajay Devgn
While Ajay Devgn is one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, 2024 has been a mixed bag for him. Of the three films he released this year, only Shaitan managed to make a mark, while Maidaan and Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha failed to impress at the box office. With Son of Sardaar 2 on the horizon, Devgn is hoping to turn things around. However, the road ahead won’t be easy, as the film is set to clash with Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, another highly anticipated release.
As the countdown to the release of Son of Sardaar 2 begins, fans are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds. With a powerful cast, an intriguing storyline, and the promise of high-octane action, the film is shaping up to be one of the year’s most exciting releases.
